Note:

The flow rate was 5.2 sec/m. The water was at the deepest at 70 cm. There was evidence of animals because there were birds chirping, tadpoles swimming around, and scat. The creeks characteristics were a skinny width, a decent depth, and fast and slow flow rates. There was also duck moss on top of the creek which leads us to believe ducks have used the creek as a resting area. There were also some trees covering part of the creek, but overall the creek didn't have much shading. There was a lot of vegetation including, rhodes and willow saplings. We were at zone #1.
